Comment of Salt in the Neck

Question
A girl always dreams of terrifying things like jinn, and when she went to a woman who recites the Quran, she told her: to use salt, resin, and a third thing, the most important thing is to put them in a paper and hang it around her neck. When she hung it, she stopped dreaming, but when she removed it from her neck, she started dreaming again. Is it considered shirk to hang something around her neck knowing that it is salt and things she made with her own hands? What is your interpretation of what is happening to her?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: this is not shirk but rather a matter of taking precautions. It is said that asafetida, fenugreek, and salt drive away demons and are disliked by them. And God knows best.
